Make Plans to be in Wabasha May 9th for City Mouse at the Widespot
May 9th will conclude Widespot Performing Arts Center’s 16th Season with a performance by City Mouse from Mankato. City Mouse is a true Minnesota gem – they have been performing for thousands of appreciative fans in the Upper Midwest for over fifty years. The current lineup of seasoned players has been together since 1986, playing a musical blend of country, bluegrass, country-rock, and five-part a cappella vocals. The lineup consists of Billy Steiner (harp, electric guitar and vocals), Dale Haefner (piano), Ron Arsenault (acoustic guitar and vocals) and Tim Waters (vocals, electric guitar, banjo and pedal steel). Every member of City Mouse has been a finalist for a MN Music Award in various individual and group categories.
Make weekend plans in Wabasha – the May 9th weekend is fishing opener, the 100-mile garage sale will be in full swing and its Mother’s Day, so bring Mom along and enjoy the concert together.
Visit Widespot’s website for details, tickets and more: City Mouse Event Page Questions may be directed to 715-448-0536. Tickets online are $22/ticket, $25 at the door.
Widespot is now able to accept credit cards for all onsite payments.
WideSpot, the premiere entertainment venue in the Lake Pepin Region, is located at 611 Broadway Avenue in Wabasha in the historic Mittel Schule building. The venue is fully accessible and features auditorium seating, onsite parking, and a bar serving beer, wine, water and sodas. Showtime will be at 7 pm, with doors opening at 6:30 pm.
